The Lewis County Humane Society is dedicated to providing care, comfort, and kindness to companion animals in need. We work tirelessly to ensure every animal finds a loving, forever home through the promotion of compassionate and responsible pet ownership.
Our roots in the community run deep, dating back to our incorporation in 1915. Originally established to prevent cruelty to both animals and children, we eventually unified our efforts to focus on animal welfare and humane education. For over a century, we have remained committed to being a voice and a sanctuary for those who cannot speak for themselves.
As a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit corporation, we operate a no-kill animal shelter in Glenfield, NY, where we care for homeless cats and dogs from across our county. We rely on the immense generosity of our supporters to maintain our facility and provide medical care, enrichment, and daily needs for our residents. Our team of staff and volunteers works hard every day to create a safe, supportive environment while animals await their new families.
Adoption is a joyful commitment, and we believe in making thoughtful, permanent matches that improve both the animal's life and yours. By taking the time to understand each animal's personality and needs, we help ensure a successful transition into your home. We are proud to support you throughout the process, providing transparency and care every step of the way.
Ready to meet your new best friend? We invite you to view our available animals online or visit our shelter on Pine Grove Road to see our wonderful pets in person. Whether you are looking to adopt, volunteer, or donate, your support helps us provide second chances to the animals who depend on us most.
